Mobile & Marine RoboticsUniversity of Limerick
We have active research in:• Underwater vehicles, ROVs and AUVs• UAVs, RPAS, Auto parafoils & Helikites• Long endurance unmanned vehicles • Use of robots in marine incident response• Precision navigation and advanced control solutions• Imaging sonar and camera systems• Real-time high band-width comms, off shore – on shore control: with
satellite (Ku, Ka band) or Parafoils for extended radio horizon • Remote Presence (monitoring, control and intervention)• Smart event triggered sensor platforms (moorings, landers and data
buoys) longer endurance systems• Moored ocean observatories as lower cost option to cables observatories.
Our idea is to :• Design and develop sub-systems for remotely piloted automatic
landing and take-off maritime aircraft
• This aircraft is long endurance with advanced flight planner, estimation and control module
• To increase the situational awareness of the remote pilot a Pilot Assisting Augmented Reality System (PAARS) will be designed and implemented
• The PAARS augmented display with virtual vision will be designed to assist the pilot in flight mode and with landing until visual contact via the RPAS high bandwidth video link is made. This system will facilitate pilot landing and take-off from remote locations such a ship underway in conditions of poor visibility
